Morning all
Yesterday I saw an interesting article in our newspaper. Despite a lot of stupid idiots who think flying around airports is cool, the EU will apply a standard drone regulation around half 2019.
Basically, as a hobby pilot, the limit goes from 5kg to 4kg for a drone (so, the Inspire 2 with X5S is legal).
One thing is that the general max elevation will be 120 meters (400ft).
There still will be a difference between professional and commercial users but that might be in favor for the professional pilots. Like in Holland at the moment, hobby pilots can fly up to 120 meters, professional pilots only to 50 meters (don't ask me why).
Rules with regards to NFZ and Nature2000 zones will most likely not chance and/or be more stringent. But the rules are for all EU countries. I think I'm happy with that.
So... interesting times ahead.
